The price of the iPhone Fold will not please you

Apple is developing a "Fold" version of its iPhone. Scheduled for the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027, the smartphone of any new generation would nevertheless be sold at a price ... defying any competition, but in the wrong sense of the term.

The latest information we have about this device comes from Instant Digital, an account on the Weibo social network specializing around Apple. In the past this user has already revealed several information that has proven to be correct.

In his message, he explains that the iPhone Fold is well under development. Apple would have decided to work on a "book" version of its smartphone, asThe Galaxy Fold at Samsung. We therefore forget the valve system, used by Samsung always, but with its "flip".

A very very high price

If the price of iPhone is already criticized every year, with products at more than 1000 euros, which even borders on 1500 euros. Here we are entering a new dimension.

With such pricing, Apple could exceed 3000 euros in Europe, especially if the policy on reciprocal customs duties acts over time.

Hard to imaginel’iPhone FoldHome a product appreciated by the general public if the smartphone costs almost 3 times more than other iPhone. With such pricing, it would also be the most expensive folding smartphone on the market. However, we know from experience that a too high starting price pushes consumers.

Apple being Apple, will the Cupertino firm succeed in thwarting the forecasts? The recent failure of the Apple Vision Pro, partly caused by its starting price, is not there to reassure us. Give us your opinion in comments.
